W-? r A RAID BLIZZARD. Xew York Struck by the Worst Storm of Years. Much Damage Wrought Along the Atlantic Coast. Much damage was clone to property and shipping in New York City and harbor and v!ong the Atlantic coast by a violent wjnd and rain storm which attained a velocity of sixty-four miles an hour. All day long the rain came down in varying quantities, from a few scattering drops to a deluge, and all the while a strong northeast wind was eddying in the streets and squares of the cit>* or was sweeping and roaring around some sharp corner to catch an unsuspecting pedestrian and rob him of his hat or umfcrelia. The ordinary means of protection against rain were useless. The wind was so strong and so eccentric in its attack that umbrellas were a disadvantage and ulsters, rcaikintoshes and galoshes were inadequate to keep one dry. So violent was the wind that it seemed to sweep down upon the street and scoop up the water. The siorm gathered between St. Louis ancl Chicago and was the result of two high atmospheric pressures, one in the country of the St. Lawrence, the other southwest of St. Louis. It moved in a northeasterly direction to the * -* ' ? ? ? ? ?^ J aam+WO/1 nff Parva TTo^.. A LifclllllU CUflM, atlU UCUUCU vu x^av teras, whence it moved in a northeasterly direction, until the storm centre was well out to sea. The rain was general in all the States east of the Mississippi River,and high winds prevailed along tiie entire coast from Charleston to Boston. The greatest velocity of wind attained during the day was at B!ock Island, where it blew at the rate of fifty miles an hoar. Tho maximum velocity in New York City was forty-two miles. At the Western Union building in New York City it was said that the storm had played havoc with the telegraph wires between New York City and Washington, and that those in the vicinity of Pittsburg were v also down. Some delays were occasioned to the mails. The morning mail from Washington was an hour and three-quarters late and that from St. Louis two hours late. The three story frame building in course of erection at No. 332 Stagg street, Brooklyn, N. Y.. succumbed to the wind and fell with a crash. Peter Lederle. aged fifteen, aud Charles Kluck, twelve years of age, both living at No. 218 Stagg street, were playing in the building at the time and were buried beneath the ruins. At 2.30 o'clock the front wall of the new brick building at Saratoga avenue ana nerfeimer street, Brooklyn, owned by George Gilby, was blown into the street. No one was injured. The damage was about $200. The storm wrought havoc along all the principal thoroughfares in New \ ork City, Upper .Broadway suffered considerably, and early in the afternoon the wind blew off part of the portico at Daly's Theatre. A number of ferryboats were carried half a mile out of their course, and when they finally i eached the entrance to their piers they had much difficulty in making a landing The first accident reported was the sinking of the canalboat Dichoner with her cargo of 250 tons of coal. She was towed up the North River to Pier No. 38, where she intended to dock. While being turned she was upset by the current and sank immediately. Captain Munn, his wife and daughter, who were on deck at the time, were thrown into the water, but were rescued by the crew of the tugboat. The schooner Crosby, from Colon, with a cargo of cocoanute, was picked up by the tug P. W. Buckley, twenty-five miles outside of Sgnay Jlook, with her top masts gone and SaiEsplit-, ^nd towed inside the Hook, where ancn<5r was dropped. , The Fall River steamer, Rhode Island, collided off Corlears Hook in the East Kiver, with an unknown coal barge. Considerable damage was caused by the storm in New Jersey. At Atlantic City the tide rose two feet above the floors in the inlet district and the wind blew a hurricane. Bowker's Hotel was raz&d by the wind and tide; the yachtsmen's wharr and steamboat landing was washed away, and the wind caused the collapse of the electric street car stables on Main avenue, burying five cars, three of which are wrecked oeyond repair. The workmen in the building narrowly escaped with their lives. Two houses were washed from their foundations, and all communication between Sea Isle City and Ocean City is cut off. The pleasure railroad between Sea Isle City and Avalon is also washed away, and the water completely covers the five mile branch * known as the Angle Sea Railroad. Some of the railroad tracks to the shore, from Camden, are completely washed away. The severest winter storm known in the history of Red Bauk, N. J., raged and considerable damage was done to shipping iu the Shrewsbury River. At Elizabethport, N. J., a large new three story house on First street was blown down. The tide was unusually high, docks were submerged and the entire southern part of the city inundated, many houses being isolated. Trees were uprooted and many signs blown off. Considerable damage was done along the north shore of Long Island. Numerous small craft anchored in Oyster Bay, txlen Cove, Port Jefferson aud Hempstead harbors were blown from their anchorage and driven ashore, all more or less injured. The heaviest snow storm in five years prevailed at Pittsburg, Peun. Telegraph, telephone and electric wires were down in all diractions and business was practically suspended. Three horses were killed bv falling electric wires. Two drivers were knocked unconscious from their seat?, and a street car filled with passengers was set on fire, but none in the car wore hurt. The police patrol and fire alarm systems of wires were badly crippled, and the switchboard at City Hall was burned out. Electric light wires were prostrated early in the day} and those dependent on them were without light. All street car lines in South Pittsburg were tied up. m"t> vr t\t> nrnvrm XXIIM uruu vviNiji/, A 8teamer Strikes a Snag- and Goes JDown in Fifteen Minutes. The steamer City of Baton Rouge, of the Bt. Louis Anchor line, while en route to New Orleans at Hermitage Landing, three miles from Port Hudson and 150 miles from New Orleans, about three o'clock on a recent afternoon, struck the same snag which sunk the Paris C. Brown in 1889 and sank in fifteen minutes. The cabin and hurricane deck parted from the hull and floated away. The hull broke in two parts and sank out of 6ight in a few minutes. Two deck passengers are known to be lost, and it was believed that eight others were also drowned. The steamer was heavily laden, and her cargo is a total loss. ^he~ was uninsured, and was built at Jefifersouville, lad., in 1882 at a cost of $104,000. A BHAKEMAN'S GRIT. Hurled Into a River He Swam Ashore and Saved a Passenger Train. While a westbound fast freight was rounding a curve on the Jersey Central road near Bethlehem, Penn., the other morning several planks fell from the car to the eastbound track. An eastbound fast freight crashed into them and was derailed, throwing both trains into the canal. Fireman Rmkers was seriously and Brakeman Kist fatally injured. Another brakeman was hurled fifty feet through the air into the Lehigh River. He swam to the shore and hurried to the tracks in time to flag the New York flyer, which is the fastest passenger train on the road, and was heavily loaded. The tracks were blocked for several hours. Secretary Tract has decided upon the names of six of the new ships of the navy. The cruiser building at the Brooklyn Navy Yard will be known as the Cincinnati. Her sister, building at Norfolk, will be known as the Raleigh. The two battleships building at the William Cramp & Sons' yard, Philadelphia, will be 6tyled, No. 1, tl e Indiana, ana No. 2, the Massachusetts. Ihe battleship building at the Union Iron Wt rks, Saa Francisco, Cal., will be known as the Oregon. FIFTY-FIRST CONGKESS.

Hannibal Hamlin clings to the old black swallow-tail coat of ante-bellum days. Jay Gocld, it is said, is and has heen accumulating wealth at the rate of $12,000,000 r? year. The wife of ex-Governor St. John, of Kan! sas, is drawing large audiences in the west j as a lecturer. The widow of the late Count Maurice Es? terhazy of Austria, has taken the veil as a Carmelite nun. Von Moltke's wife was an English girl, Mary Burt, and the old man spends an hour each day in meditation baside her tomb. It is said that United States Minister Reid expends $27,000 per annum for the vent of his house in Paris, which is $10,000 more than his total salary. General Schofield, Commsn Jer-inChief of Uncle Sam's army, receives a salary of ?13,000 a year, auu ms uuues sua merely nominal. One interesting fact in connection with Cyrus Field's golden wedding, in New York City, was that the entire bridal party of 1840 was present. Ex-Senator Thcrman no longer uses snulf. He found that the constant titillation of his nose affected his eyes, and so he weaned himself from the snuff box. Austin Cop.bin, the railroad millionaire and magnate, is a bald-headed, nervous man of fifty-five, who possesses indomitable energy. "Fifteen years ago he was unheard of. The Empress Augusta Victoria of Germany is now in her thirty-first year. She is three months older and somewhat taller than the Emperor, but her hair and fresh complexion make her look younger. Vice-President Proctor, of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, is reported to be worth $25,000,000. He shared the inventor's poverty with him and afterward married his daughter. Singer's original capital was $50, which grew to be 830,000,000. At:gcst Belmont's entire estate, practically, is left to the widow and children in form "of trusts. Small bequests are made to the partners and employes of the firm of August Belmont & Co. The horses are all to be sold. Doctor Koch was born December il, 1843, at C.austbal, Germany, where he first attended school. From 1862 to 1866 he staded medicine at Goettingen- then, having become a professor of medicine, he commenced his practice at Posen. In the German army the Emperor is known as "Alarm Fritz," on account of hiB habit of rousing the garrisons in the middle of the night. In the navy he is known as "Gondola Billy," from "gondoling" about, us Ihey call It, anywhere and everywhere. A PLUCKY WOMAN. Mri. Dacey Slakes a Gambler Return Her Husband's Money. rm.. ui; 1 ?

Voss said he would put her out, and started toward her. She drew a pistol, fired at his bead, cutting off a lock of hair. He fell to the floor, and yelled that he had been murdered, but she coolly told him she had not brougnt blood, but would if she did not get the money. He returned it. I ' , - ?-V . $ 3S* - v HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. England's convict condiment. It is said on Authority that the women j "inmates of an English prison" make j the best tomato catsup of Great Britain, j This is the method: "Bake the tomatoes I in an oven, and when quite soft rub ! through a sieve, add to every pound of ! pulp a quart of Chili vinegar, one ounce i of chalot, quarter of ounce o? white ! per per, a half an ounce of salt.

AVc are told that a beefsteak for broiling should be cut j three-fourths of an inch thick, and put I over a hot fire of coal or charcoal. I Quite right, but when it has browned I quickly, as it should, and then turned I and browned on the other side, it remains raw in the middle and if left longer the surface burns. This is the experience of the novice, who has yet to learn two things. First, that imuiediatelv .after the first browning the fire must decrease io heat or the meat be brought further away, so that the steak may cook ten or twelve minutes without burning? less time will not cook it nicely in the midd.e; and second, that, like baked meat, the surface must be kept moist with hot fat. Before your steak is put over the coals (unless it be very well streaked with fat), cover it both sides with melted suet, and afterwards as it dries spread on a little butter or beef fat. Have ready in a hot platter a few spoonfuls of hot water in which the bones cut from the steak have been boiling, also salt and pepper. When the steak is done lay it on the platter and keep it hot for live minutes, turning it once in the time; thus you will have both good steak aud good gravy.?New York Ntics. iiu>v iu riv?,^r.uvr- tvuo. At this season of the year, when butter and eggs are comparatively abundant and cheap, many housekeepers lay in a stock. October butter is the be9t to preserve for winter use. It should be of the first quality; free from buttermilk, firm and well salted. It may be packed in wooden tubs or stone jars. If one has a cool, sweet room in the cellar the butter will keep perpectlv wholesome if covered with a piece of linen upon which a thick layer of salt has been spread. If, however, one has a cold room, a brine poured over the butter will help to preserve it. To make the brine, put into a porcelain or granite-ware stew-pan one pint of salt, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one teaspoontui or saltpetre ana two quarts and a half of boiling water. Stir over the fire until the solid ingredients are dissolved; then set away to cool. When cold, skim and strain. Pour the cold brine over the butter. The butter tub should be placed on a shelf and away from any kind of food that has an odor. Although eggs do not absorb odors so readily as buttermilk or cream, they are, nevertheless, affected by the substance in which they are packed. Farmers frequently pack egg3 for market in oats, which sometimes become damp and strong smelling. The eggs absorb bad odors and are spoiled for table use. No matter how eggs are preserved, they cannot bo compared with the fresh article, but since there are periods when the supply does not meet the demand, it is well to keep some in the least objectionable manner. That manner is to preserve them Irom the air in a bath that will not spoil their flavor. Make a brine with two quarts of unslacked lime, two ounces of cream of tartar, half a pint of salt, ten quarts of cold water, and about a pint and a half of boiling water?enough to reduce the lime to powder. Put the lime in a large pail and pour the boiling water upon it. Now add the cold water and let the mixture stand until cold. "When the lime water is cold add the salt and cream of tartar. Stir well. Put the eggs in small butter tubs and cover with the brine.?Houteicife. RECIfES. Paris Pudding?Slice half a pound of stale sponge cake, and spread with cur?~ ? ? ? ? **.!! ?

Make a quart of rich custard, flavor with vanilla, beat the whites of four eggs to a still froth, and add. Pour the custard in the dish, heap meringue over the top, and set in the oven one minute to brown. Grape Jelly?Heat ripe black grapes over a slow fire, stirring and mashing them until they burst and the juice runs out. Strain through a thin muslin bag without pressing them. Return juice t'j the fire and boil rapidly twenty minutes, then stir into it two heaping teacup!,ds of white sugar to three cups of juic?. Boil briskly fifteen minutes after adding the sugar, skimming carefully and stir ring it while boiling. Kcmove ana pour into glasses before the jelly begins to cool. Potato Biscuit?Make buscuit in the way you prefer?with buttermilk an.1 soda,cream-tartar and soda,or baking powder, or without any of these, which is decidedly best, if thoroughly beaten,and add one large cupful mashed potatoes (sweet or Irish), seasoned with butter, to each quart of flour. Mix well in the flour before putting in other ingredients, roll and cut, bake in a quick oven, and be sure to cat hot. Split with a fork, and spread with sweet butter, as you eat them, and they will almost melt in your mouth, if properly made. Beef Stew?Cut underdone roast beef or steak into inch-long pieces. Have ready in a saucepan a cupful of skimmed gravy or broth, a quarter of an onion minced very tine, a teaspoonful of minced parsley, a pinch of mace, and a tablespoonful or chopped cucumber pickle. Let it come to a boil, season well, and thickeu with a tablespoonful of browned flour; put in the meat, and set in boiling water, closely covered, at the side of the range, for twenty minutes. If the meat be tough, chop instead or cutting it up, then proceed as directed. Serve hot. It is estimated that 2500 railway em j ployes are killed yearly in tue united j States in accidents which might have been prevented if automatic brakes and couplings were in universal usr.

In Belgium a shaft has been sunk below sea level 3084 feet, and this is supposed to be the deepest penetration of the earth's crust yet affected. At these depths the workmen are always perspiring. They have a uniform temperature a trifle too high for comfort.? London {England) Star. A River Too Narrow For Oars. The Quilimane, or Kwakwa, iu East Africa, is the most northerly of the several channels through which the great River Zambesi discharges itself into the sea. No steamers at present call at any of the mouths of the Zimbesi, aud as the Quilimane is too small for steam launches, the journey up-country from Quilimana has to be begun in boats. Iu many places the river is too narrow for even oars to be used, and native paddles arc therefore chiefly employed. The travellers sit in the deck-house for protection from the sun, aud watch the paddlers at their work. The main road between the Kwakwa aucl Zambesi, a distance about three miles, is open, but is a mass of water and mud. At other places, the tall grass six or seven feet high, almost meets over the traveler's head. In this ease the passenger is carried by natives iu a "machila," or litter.?New York Journal. Aucicnt Cnvc Tombs. The cave3 of Beni Ilassan arc ancient tombs, excavated in the rock on the shore of the Nile. They arc the oldest monumeuts in Egypt, excepting the Pyramids. They arc numerous and spacious, and some of them are exceedingly interesting. The sculptures and paintings are of great variety, representing the occupations and amusements of the people, and throwing much light on their modes of life. The paintings are of various and very brilliant coloring. The character of the sculptures which adorn their walls approaches that found in the tombs surrounding the Pyramids, but the architecture differs widely.

Rare Fortitude in a Do*. Many of the sportsmen of Wilmington will perhaps remember S.iilor, the fine pointer dog of J. A. Brown, of Chadbourn.

A few days ago this fine dog was ruu over by the train at ChadKrtiirn onrl Viia fnrp 1 t*nr WiL9 rpinhfid off, leaving a piece of the bone protruding. Mr. Brown hated to kill his valuable and faithful dog, so he got Dr. A. McKinnon to amputate the crushed member.
